When word started spreading that the same protesters that had just broken windows and looted stores in Spokane were going to come to Coeur d’Alene, hundreds of citizens mobilized to protect their community. So when the protesters did show up on Monday night, they quickly discovered that a very heavily armed “welcoming committee” was waiting for them. Just like most Americans all over the country, most residents of north Idaho were absolutely horrified by the death of George Floyd, and there seems to be an overwhelming consensus that the police officer that killed him needs to be brought to justice. But most residents of north Idaho have also been absolutely horrified by the violent riots that have erupted in cities from coast to coast, and they sure don’t want the same thing to happen in their neck of the woods.
If you are not familiar with the geography of the area, Coeur d’Alene is not very far from the city of Spokane, Washington, and there had been quite a bit of rioting in Spokane on Sunday night.
It does seem like a perfectly legitimate use of 2nd Amendment rights, defense against looters.
Marshal law nationally may well be tried and instituted at some point it's not far from the possibilities and reality of things. However it won't go well for the feds to try it in Idaho, I'm sure other places as well....
Why would people of Idaho have a problem with martial law declared in order to quash riots and looting?
You should have a problem with it and its sad if you don't realize that yourself... Idaho citizens can take care of themselves.... lmao
I don't. And you are doing shitty job explaining why I should.

Like I say Idaho can take care of themselves did you miss that part or what?
Hot air and childish posturing.
If the shit hits the fan Idaho will be taking care of themselves using Idaho NG first and foremost.

Cash,
I hear lots of talk but I haven't heard the discharge of firearms from brave talkers.
What are they going to do to stop the protestors with,talk & preening of their firearms?
Why do Idaho dumbasses think they are invisible to high speed hot lead? 400,000,000 guns & RepCons don't own them all.
As polarization gets hotter,firing firecrackers would send the gun loving fools into apoplectic "Kill 'em!" mode.
Boycott Idaho?
Funny thing is, KKK got run out of town but then then came back and built themselves a new compound.
Boycott Idaho?
